Parlor Trick Print Exchange 2021: Home


Welcome to the First Annual Parlor Trick Print Exchange! This exchange was open and limited to 20 U.S. Printmakers who created all forms of hand-pulled prints from etchings to screen print to linocuts. The theme this year was "Home." What does home mean to you? What is your current home like? What is your dream home like? Is your home real or fictional? Magical or mysterious? Maybe someone else’s home brings you joy? Or maybe something makes you feel at home? Is it a place or a feeling or a concept? Below we have 20 different interpretations of what "Home" means to each artist. Enjoy!


This print exchange was made possible by a DCA Art Fund Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
